This has nothing to do with naming.
It is about getting rid of workarounds by fixing the root cause,
instead of adding more and more layers of workarounds.
A DISTRO_FEATURE is for cases where PACKAGECONFIG in many recipes should
be toggled with one setting, or the setting has to be the same in several
recipes.
DISTRO_FEATURES is not appropriate to guard a quick hack workaround for
breakage caused by another workaround.
The problem at hand is that libldb in meta-openembedded was upgraded to
a version not compatible with the version of samba in meta-openembedded.
As workaroud the libldb shipped in samba was used and installed by
the samba recipe.
The proper fix would be to upgrade samba to 4.9 or 4.10,
and use the external libldb again.
This would make all problems caused by having two different versions
of libldb disappear.
If this is not possible, it is likely samba that should stop just
shipping the (older versions of) the conflicting binaries for now.
In a semi-related note, the current samba is a pretty outdated even for
the 4.8 branch and misses several CVE fixes.
